Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation (PARC) which DRN is a member of, is calling for more education for turtle Conservation. This week the Turtle Conservation Coalition said in their Top 25+ Turtles in Trouble report that turtles are the fastest disappearing species in the world. According to their report 48%-54% of all turtles and tortoises are threatened. 2011 has been designated as the year of the turtle. Those wishing to learn more can do so on the PARC Website
